FINALS UPDATE: Weird set of adjustments: lowly Bordertown (0.5) went up while night-topping Little Big Shots (1.7) went down. Once Upon a Time (1.2), The Good Wife (1.0) and America's Funniest Home Videos (1.0) also ticked up, while both episodes of Crowded (1.1/0.9) lost a tenth.

AMC's Fear the Walking Dead (2.53) won another Sunday night, but it may be the last time it can say that for awhile. It was down 18% from last week's premiere, and once again was down by 38% from the corresponding season one episode. And that's before Game of Thrones even comes back as head-to-head competition. That looms next week.

Fox's Family Guy (1.4) was finally back in originals after over a month off , tying its last original and beating some of the ratings it posted earlier in the winter. The Last Man on Earth (1.1) was even at 9:30. Earlier in the night, Bordertown (0.4) and Cooper Barrett's Guide (0.4) were each down, while The Simpsons (0.9) went into repeats and Bob's Burgers (1.0) lost a tenth.

ABC's Once Upon a Time (1.1) and Quantico (1.0) each gave back last week's upticks, but look like they could be close to adjusting up again. The Family posted another 0.8 at 9/8c.

NBC took a look at Crowded (1.2/1.0) with the direct Little Big Shots (1.8) lead-in. Compared with last week's finals, Crowded improved by a tenth week-to-week in each half-hour (beating what The Carmichael Show did last week). But these comedies have always been adjust-down candidates, so there may be no difference by the finals. Dateline (1.2) remained a rather strong option at 10/9c.

CBS' regular lineup had a rough night, with Madam Secretary (0.9) preliminarily going fractional for the first time and Elementary (0.7) posting a new low of its own. The Good Wife (0.9) merely tied its low.
